Reviews
Difficult to assemble Anonymous reviewerLooks nice when put together and size was better than other units, I had been looking at besta but no half size units that could be placed upright meant these where a better fit.
Difficult to assemble, fiddly to place the back in and last side on without the sides moving apart. Doors fiddly to adjust to make the square in the frame.
Eket cupboardAnonymous reviewerProvides a great stylish storage space that is very well designed and strong
Shocking designAnonymous reviewerThis furniture looks good but the self assembly design is quite simply shocking. Ikea has clearly moved from traditional cabinet fixings to a combination of keyhole fixings and plastic clips. Presumably to save money but it makes assembly much more difficult nothing can be adjusted. Learning from the experience of others on Reddit helps but it simply shouldn’t be that hard. This is the first purchase from Ikea that I have truly regretted. Buyer beware!!!!
Eket cabinetAnonymous reviewerAssembly is fairly straightforward although the design is poor. We had two of the drawer sets to mount alongside using the additional clamps. It took ages to try and get the units to line up together. As per other reviews the door latches are awful and aligning the doors evenly is nigh on impossible. I suppose you get what you pay for, but this is poor compared to other Ikea products we have had in the past.
Excellent storage solutionAnonymous reviewerI purchased this for an extra storage in my sewing room, it fits in perfectly with my sewing machine cabinet and has good storage space for my sewing accessories. Very pleased with it.
Worst IKEA furniture everAnonymous reviewerI've had many pieces from IKEA over the years, and these are the worst. So bad that I'm writing a review to back that up.
The build was quick and easy, but the cabinets themselves are flimsy and cheap-feeling. Wall mountings have no thought behind them - you cant adjust the cabinet once it's on, you can only take it off entirely then "best guess" and try again.
Once on the wall, the doors are flimsy and one actually fell off causing damage to my floor. They also cant be adjusted very much, so all mine have gaps. The cabinets can be fixed to each other, but only from the back and even then they dont stay oriented once wall mounted.
The worst part is the door "poppers and closers" which are utterly useless in function. Close one door, the other pops open. Close the leftmost cabinet, and two cabinets down pops open.
Sadly they're on the wall, but I wish I could return the lot for something else.

Terrible unitAnonymous reviewerEasy to assemble as long as you start with nr 1 side first.
Just finished assembling unit, feet on, doors on, shelf in place.
Quality is terrible. Not sturdy, doors not opening/closing properly, different size gap between doors as you move from top to bottom.
IKEA to mass produce a poor quality unit like this you should be ashamed.
Not fit for purpose.
Great child friendly storageAnonymous reviewerWe used these to build around an arch opening in our dining room to store child toys, our books and used a selection of cupboards, drawers and open and closed box units so some elements can be displayed.
Surprised by how many negative reviews, we built 16 of these units. As long as you follow the instructions, you'll be fine, yes ,perhaps not the standard Ikea build, but once you've mastered one you'll be flying
Don't understand the bad reviewsAnonymous reviewerI found this product easy enough to put together - the sides required some force to slot in perfectly (I used a hammer with a rolled up towel to soften the blow) but other than that it was straightforward and it built very neatly. It's very sturdy and a great colour. The cabinet itself is very deep so perfect for storage.
Good looking and usefulAnonymous reviewerIt was difficult to assemble for a tiny cabinet. The plastic fasteners did not easily slot into their sockets. It took some brute force. Instructions and assembly pictures not always easy to work out. I opted to wall mount which was quite straightforward. If Id been asked to review the day after I bought it I'm sure I would have more assembly moans but that was about 3 months ago. Just a tip, if you are thinking of personalising it do not put on the doors until finished. Once the doors are on they don't come off without disassembling the whole thing
Very difficult to assembleAnonymous reviewerI wouldn’t bother with this product. Trying to put it together caused me so much stress. The sides don’t fit together properly and there are big gaps on the sides. Taking it back for a refund.
Terrible Anonymous reviewerI have bought many items from ikea, which I love. This is not one of them, where shall I start.. the pre drilled holes didn’t fit together so the sides didn’t sit flush my husband and I tried and tried to push it but it wouldn’t shift… it’s extremely fiddly, the back panel is so flimsy and is impossible even with 4 hand to fit it in without it annoyingly slipping out. After all that once fitting the doors on they are not level or flush! How!!!! The holes are all pre drilled. I’m so disappointed it wasn’t cheap but looks really cheap. If I had known I would have exchanged it for the much better Lixhult range but as I’ve put it together I can’t do that
Doors don’t align, don’t recommend, otherwise nice colour and perfect size for what I need it forAnonymous reviewerDoors don’t align so looks horrible and the back panel didn’t slot in all 4 sides properly, and the back clips are rubbish. Assembling was a nightmare plus the finished product doesn’t look great because of the doors not straight
Worst IKEA Build Anonymous reviewerHaving built a lot of IKEA furniture I would say that this is without doubt the worst build I have experienced. Rather than the traditional “box” construction, it is actually made of 45 degree chamfered pieces to make the carcass which is just ridiculous. In the end the doors don’t line up at all and there is no adjustment in them as they don’t use hinges like 99% of IKEA furniture. Don’t buy it. Buy something else with a more traditional and tested construction.
Storage Anonymous reviewerSmart product. Looks good. However the doors do not meet evenly. Spoils the look a bit.
Useful cupboard, but didn't realise we should have bought legs for it.Anonymous reviewerThe cupboard without legs is for mounting on a wall, however it is OK on the floor as well.
Poorly designed cabinet.Anonymous reviewerVery poorly designed cabinet - no way to align and remove door when hanged. Do not attempt to stick masking tape as it would go off with paint/texture of cabinet`s door. Very poor value for money.
Poor assembly Anonymous reviewerI was so disappointed. I have ordered lots of things from IKEA in the past but assembling this piece of furniture was impossible. It did not align together properly and because of this the doors were a poor fit.
OkAnonymous reviewerThis item is OK in the 2 door. A littlenflimsy and not the easiest of products to erect. Looks cheap. Regret buying this and I'm never regretted an IKEA purchase before
Bad design Anonymous reviewerDon’t waste your money with this cabinet , not sturdy , and almost impossible to put the back on while trying to slot the side on at the same time , all in all a very poorly designed product.
I would take it back and have my money back but ikea don’t make that easy either .
What should be a quick 20 minutes assembly had me pulling my hair out at the end after a few hours !!
Come on ikea the assembly procedure is ridiculous, must do better
